October 6, BaltimoreCrime Temp Edition

Truth and Consequences.

WBAL tv's David Collins reviewed the claims of the two gubernatorial candidates for truthfulness and accuracy as to crime issues, and concluded that O'Malley's criticisms of Ehrlich are substantially false, while Ehrlich's criticism of O'Malley is basically quite truthful, but possibly inaccurate as to degree. He finds that the intent to manipulate Baltimore City crime data on O'Malley's part hasn't been proven, even if the result is pretty clear, and that Ehrlich's promise to oppose the release of violent offenders was kept, and in fact was stymied in the State legislature by.... O'Malley's Democratic runningmate, Del. Tony Brown.

Of items of note in the police blotter today, Tuesday's previously-reported shooting of a woman and a teenage boy outside a Cherry Hill carryout resulted in a bullet to her leg and several to his body.

35 year-old Stuart Griffith, who was sought in violation of probation for weapons charges, was murdered with multiple gunshots by unknown assailants in the wee hours Monday morning at Gossip's on South Calvert Street downtown.

Another Blockbuster Video robbed in Cockeysville and another RoFo robbery in White Marsh, and a carjacking solved in Southwest.

Now waitaminute!Eastern Shore attorney and former Asst. State's Attorney Christopher Llinas was convicted of stashing his client's drugs from an investigation, claiming he was disabled by his own addiction from exercising proper judgement. Y'know, this "I'm not responsible because I was drunk/high/upset." has gotta stop. I wasn't impressed with Rep. Foley's version, and I'm not impressed now. He got off with 1 year home detention for evidence tampering by an officer of the court.

An Examiner interview with former Commissioner Ed Norris details just how out of character with departmental routine is the shredding of files protected by the Court in the civil rights case of black officers filed against the Baltimore City Police Department. I agree with Norris, “It’s outrageous.”

From our nation's capital:

A bereavement registry - the best music to bury your children by, and

District of Columbia debates what to do as the crime continues in the nation's capital.
